Getting hazed by your veteran teammates is inevitable for an NBA rookie, that is just the way it is.

This season, the Sacramento Kings drafted four rookies: Georgios Papagiannis, Malachi Richardson, Skal Labissiere, and Isaiah Cousins. Unfortunately for the quartet, they encountered their first dose of teasing from their teammates yesterday.

Listed down below is a picture posted by Omri Casspi on Instagram. In the image, you can see Georgios, Malachi, and Skal posing while wearing cartoon themed backpacks. Someone check if Isaiah is ok.

Overall, it’s just some light fun that the veterans are having towards their rookie counterparts. Maybe the hazing will lessen to a degree if the younglings are able to showcase some growth on the hardwood.
